The file structure of each server is roughly:
People setting up new FTP/ANONCVS mirrors
will be interested in the following disk space usage estimates for
what is maintained at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/.
The current policy requires mirrors listed on this page to provide at
least the last two releases in binary form (currently 3.7 and 3.8) for
all architectures, as well as the OpenSSH/, OpenNTPD/, OpenBGPD/,
patches/ and tools/ directories.
Depending on the disk space available, mirrors may provide more contents, such
as snapshots, older releases, current source tree, etc.
The current disk space usage on the master ftp site is as follows:
current could be
pub/OpenBSD/3.4 10.8GB (OpenBSD 3.4 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.5 9.8GB (OpenBSD 3.5 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.6 17.4GB (OpenBSD 3.6 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.7 17.3GB 18.5GB (OpenBSD 3.7 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.8 19.7GB 20.5GB (OpenBSD 3.8 release)
pub/OpenBSD/snapshots 17.9GB bigger! (current snapshots, normally >= the
last distribution in size)
pub/OpenBSD/src .5GB .6GB (ftpable src tree, checked out from
anoncvs nightly. You should probably
avoid using an ftp mirror to get this.
It's better to just update it yourself
with a checkout from a nearby anoncvs
server.)
Hence, a mirror requires about 54GB of disk space at least, for snapshots
and the last two releases.
Depending on which old releases you serve additionally, you can waste
still more disk space.
Note that the master ftp site also provides the following directory, that
mirrors should not need to provide:
pub/OpenBSD/distfiles 4.7GB bigger! (distfiles used by the ports subsystem
makefiles. You probably should not
mirror these unless you want them for
other reasons yourself. The ports
makefiles will only look at
ftp.openbsd.org and ftp.usa.openbsd.org
by default for these)
If you add a new FTP, HTTP, AFS or RSYNC mirror site, please contact www@openbsd.org.
